I had hoped for more. I have to shake this hard to get the toner to properly distribute across the paper and it's a cartridge right out of the box.

I've been regularly ordering toners from Staples for the last 20 years Lately they have been carrying these kind of CHEAP refurbished toners and I purchased since I trusted STAPLES (They usually never carry CHEAP stuff unfortunately I was wrong) Issues I faced with this refurbished toners are 1)low print count 2) damages cartridges 3) uneven toner distribution 4) Dark lines and more
The lower price compared to the name-brand HP is not worth it - these cartridge's lasted barely 1/4th of the length of the name-brand ones. I didn't realize they were "refurbished" when I ordered them. I thought they were just off-brand or Staples brand. Extremely disappointed and won't be ordering these again.
I really wanted to like this. I really wanted this to be an exceptional item that I can use from now on but even though I am well aware that it is NOT manufactured by Canon I knew there would be some hicc-ups like the NOTIFICATION light on the copier (drives me crazy) and as of the last couple of days the copier is not acknowledging the actual cartridge. I have to power up/ down and reset. Admittedly GOOD product- a true black ink-clean copy GOOD cost and always a quick shipment however I will switch back to the manufactured cartridge in the future. PS: Just now NOTIFICATIONS is alerting me that I need a NEW cartridge 10% remaining. Purchased: 10/27/19
